Volunteers

Volunteering at Livewell Southwest can be a life changing experience, for you, those we support and our staff. By spending some time chatting with patients, supporting with administrative tasks, helping keep our gardens great or lending a hand with our training courses you’ll be making an invaluable contribution to our work if you choose to volunteer with us. In return, you gain work experience and confidence by learning new skills, meeting new people and being part of a team.

We offer a variety of flexible volunteering roles in Plymouth, South Hams, West Devon and other parts of Devon and Cornwall. Due to the nature of our work, volunteers undergo certain recruitment checks; this may include having a DBS check depending on the role, providing two references and undergoing an occupational health screen. We will provide you with the necessary support to ensure that this process is as smooth as possible.

About us

As an employee-led organisation, and the largest community health and social care enterprise in the UK, Livewell Southwest employs more than 3,000 members of staff who live and work in the local area. Being a not-for-profit organisation allows us to reinvest all our revenue back into the care we provide for our communities.

Our award-winning services are diverse and include: physiotherapy; psychotherapy and other community mental health services; community nursing; social work; children and young people’s services; wellbeing and health improvement services; pharmacies and services for people with learning disabilities. These are delivered either in the person’s home, or from our 12 locations across the southwest, which include minor injuries and recovery units, community or acute hospitals, clinics and dental access centres.
